on∝ BV
2.5) cause the sharply increase of power consumption.This " silicon limit (silicon limit) " broken in the appearance that surpasses the charge balance class device that knot (Superjunction) VDMOS is representative of take, improved conducting resistance and withstand voltage between restricting relation (R
on∝ BV
1.3), can realize low on-state power consumption and high blocking voltage simultaneously, therefore in various high energy efficiency occasions, obtain application rapidly, market prospects are very extensive.Basic super-junction structure is p post and n post alternately, and the effective prerequisite of this structure is that p, n post strictly meet charge balance.At device during in off state, under reverse biased, interaction due to transverse electric field and longitudinal electric field, p post district and n post district will exhaust completely, in depletion region, longitudinal electric field distributes and to be tending towards evenly, thereby puncture voltage only depends on the thickness of Withstand voltage layer in theory, irrelevant with doping content, Withstand voltage layer doping content can improve an order of magnitude nearly, thereby has effectively reduced the conducting resistance of device.
In power integrated circuit, in order to realize the integrated of power MOSFET and low-voltage circuit, MOSFET often adopts horizontal double diffusion structure, i.e. LDMOS(lateral double-diffused MOS) structure.For the conducting resistance of LDMOS, people introduce super-junction structure the drift region of LDMOS.But the conductive region of LDMOS is positioned at the surface of device, is subject to the restriction of surface area, the overall width of its conductive channel is limited, and this becomes a restriction of the conduction resistance of the super junction type LDMOS of further reduction.

Operation principle of the present invention is:
Take the first conductive type semiconductor material as P type semiconductor material is example, operation principle of the present invention and beneficial effect be described:
In described structure, the foreign ion sum approximately equal of the foreign ion sum providing in the second conductive type semiconductor 4 and the opposite types in the first conductive type semiconductor drift region 11, meets charge balance conditions, forms super-junction structure.
Described structure oppositely withstand voltage: when grid 2 and source class metallic electrode 1 add zero potential, when drain metal polarizing electrode 5 adds positive voltage, the first conductive type semiconductor material sections 11 and 4 Zhong holes, the second drift region, conductive type semiconductor material sections and electrons exhaust rapidly, it is zero that whole region free carrier number is close to, make electric field in drift region 4 close to distributed rectangular, can obtain higher device withstand voltage.In theory, the doping content of the relevant ,Er Yu of the length of the big or small Zhi Yu drift region 4 of device withstand voltage drift region 4 is irrelevant.And the second conductive type semiconductor material assisted depletion layer 14 can shield the withstand voltage reduction that the substrate-assisted depletion effect that brings due to the first conductive type semiconductor material substrate 7 causes.
